Microtube

Hi sir
Only two things I've detected:
- Small framerate (tested on 60fps video)
15-30 fps on the screen imo, tested on Xperia XA2
- Autoplay when you stopped video and swithed to another app after some time
Another things going well
Thank you for your great work!

Even, if i do not want to login, then also i need to add scope ?

And do i need to remove the installed one from the list and add this your one (first in the list)?

Thanks for keeping this app updated but one question regarding the latest one, since the update everytime i click any URL in any app it always pops up asking to open in the Browser or Microtube, is this intended or some way i can change it?

Fri, 2023/02/24 - 23:38

yes thats obviously intended, The feature was there but i removed it at some point so i restored it, its to launch youtube links in microtube

Sat, 2023/02/25 - 01:00

Thats fair enough but surely there is a way for it to ask with only youtube links and not every link i click ;) but i do appreciate the work you put into the app btw, so no disrespect meant

Sat, 2023/02/25 - 01:03

Actually no… there isn't. I've made some patch in sailfishos like year or so ago but i'm not even sure it works xd

Sun, 2023/02/26 - 18:03

I looked into it more and i changed your MimeType line in microtube-url to x-url-handler/youtube.com and it works as intended and only shows the option to open microtube for youtube links

Sun, 2023/02/26 - 19:58

that's… my patch in effect

Sun, 2023/02/26 - 20:08

Well atleast it works haha, will the change i made get reverted after updates to the app? Not a big deal but just so i know

Sun, 2023/02/26 - 20:09

i'll add your change dw

Origin Sponser block, Outro Sponser skipped, Unrelated Music speed section skipped in music videos - all these are options come through in the clutch. Other issues are likely because of my distance from my four + year old router. i'm so happy, i might not ever update SFOS again to not mess up this working version of Microtube. I'm having to manually update my over 1,000 plus subs but maybe its for the better. Currently at 77 subscriptions and it takes just over a minute to load so maybe its a good thing I'm only subbing to the 'important to me for now' channels. This is what i've been patiently waiting for. Thank you

Can anyone prepare, please, a procedure to follow in order to log in the user? It's not that easy, and some help would be welcome.... Thanks

This is a simple guide: https://www.membrane-soa.org/service-proxy-doc/4.8/oauth2-google.htm

You need to select 'desktop app' when creating the token, or your login will be blocked due something with a 'loopback flow'(??).

Something about week of using. Reporting all issues I had and still have:

1. Microtube stopped working for no reason. I simply reinstalled nodejs18 and it started working as it did before. This one is for case if somebody else got same bug

2. Not every video loads from first attempt. Sometimes it needs to be pressed twice or more, sometimes even with app restart.

3. Can't select my region (Azerbaijan)

4. No "recomendations" tab as it was on stock youtube app and web version of it.

5. I still have an issue with slightly lagging videos, they run something about 24 fps, and it could be seen comparing web version with Microtube.

6. Also can't import my subscriptions, it's stuck on Importing 0/0. I used OAuth V2 API for desktop to login. App shows that I'm logged in (Logout from youtube button)

Sat, 2022/06/25 - 09:58

2. happens it's not like the libs are perfect but at least they work and we have to deal with that because of youtube's bullshit

4. You cannot have recommendations without tracking, which i do not allow
any similar thing to it is just the popular vids
6. did you enable youtube data api?

4. Admittedly this is changing a bit recently with some of the 'popular vids' getting injected, but the recommendations are mostly pulled ftom subscriptions and recently watched videos. So it really is different from just the 'popular vids' and I find it to be useful.
While you are probably right that it requires some tracking, tracking is already happening anyway as you're logged in, so youtube can match every request to you anyway. By that logic you should remove the ability to login entirely.
Please (re)consider adding support for the recommendations feed, you can always put it behind an opt-in setting if you personally don't like it.
And thank you for your efforts :)

Sat, 2022/06/25 - 10:35

Thanks again for support
6. Not sure... I have it on, and I see it got some requests in console.

Great application update! Works perfect since I last time downloaded it.
But it has some issues:

1. Every video somehow lags on my Xperia XA2 running Sailfish OS 4.3. Not same smooth as if it was through Browser or some android application as like NewPipe.
2. No history :c (brynz already said about it, but anyways)

No lags here. Maybe connection issues?
